At this point I have replayed both these games approximately a total of 2,384,716,436,918,743,698,759,027,342,596,497,846,298,743.333333333 times.
Each time I replayed this game, it was a different version on a different platform.
 
Don't get me wrong, Final Fantasy I (HATE FINAL FANTASY II) is a classic worthy of high praise and recognition. But how many times has this game been ported now? 
 
In Japan, I had heard at one time both games were repackaged together for the NES.
There was apparently an MSX2 port.
There was the WonderSwan Color port.
Then there was the Playstation Origins re-release, which had both.
Then there was Dawn of Souls for the GBA.
According to the internet in Japan it was released on mobile phones, on two different networks.
There was the 20th Anniversary PSP re-release, which this port is based off of.
I believe it's on Virtual Console, has it been released on PSN? I'm not sure. 
Did I miss one?
 
I'm happy a great game has a new venue to be played on...again...Seriously. 
At the same time, I guess this version is for the crazy fans like me, or the person who hasn't had the opportunity to pick this up in the last...uhm....
 
...23 years... :P

I would buy this. those games are both long, and if they manage to streamline the gameplay, it might be worth buying again.

I know, holy hell... and who plays an RPG on a phone anyway, gaming on the phone's gotta be in short, easy to play short bursts!

Wow, really digging the art in that battle screen. I own too many ports of the games but if I had an iphone this is exactly the kind of game I would buy for it assuming they made a quick save feature. 
 
Also love the thief named Wedge in the battle screen XD

" @Linkyshinks: Ok, these are the sorts of iPhone ports I'm equally interested in and skeptical about. I guess the controls are simple enough that it could work...thanks for the news! "

I really, really, really, really don't need yet another version of either of these games.  I mean heck, Square Enix finally got around to releasing the original Final Fantasy on the VC last year.

i just want to see what gets ported more. This game or Doom >_>

Lookin good but damn I'm sick of FF1 and FF2.

I mean good for the iphone crowd but damn this is what? the 13th rerelase of ff1 and 2?

I just downloaded FF1 from the UK app store. So, get it while its hot!

i haven't played 1 or 2 before and i probably never will

Thanks mate.

This is cool other than the fact that I've played both these games too many times. They keep re-releasing these two. It's not like the iPhone can't pull off FF3/6/whatever, and that one was pretty damn awesome.
